Acque

(original)
L’acqua che passa fra il fango di certi canali
Tra ratti sapienti, pneumatici e ruggine e vetri
Chissà se è la stessa lucente di sole o fanali
Che guarda oleosa passare rinchiusa in tre metri
Si può stare ore a cercare se c'è in qualche fosso
Quell’acqua bevuta di sete o che lava te stesso
O se c'è nel suo correre un segno di un suo filo rosso
Che leghi un qualcosa a qualcosa, un pensiero a un riflesso
Ma l’acqua gira e passa non sa dirmi niente
Di gent e me o di quest’aria bassa
Ottusa e indifferente cammina e corre via
Lascia una scia e non gliene frega niente
E cade su me che la prendo e la sento filtrare
Leggera, infeltrisce i vestiti, intristisce i giardini
Portandomi odore d’ozono, giocando a danzare
Proietta ricordi sfiniti di vecchi bambini
Colpendo implacabile il tetto di lunghi vagoni
Destando annoiato interesse negli occhi di un gatto
Coprendo col proprio scrosciare lo spacco dei tuoni
Che restano appesi un momento nel cielo distratto
E l’acqua passa e gira e il colore poi stinge
Cos'è che mi respinge e che m’attira?
Acqua come sudore, acqua fetida e chiara
Amara, senza gusto né colore
Ma l’acqua gira e passa e non sa dirmi niente
Di gente e me o di quest’aria bassa
Ottusa e indifferente cammina e corre via
Lascia una scia e non gliene frega niente
E mormora, urla, sussurra, ti parla, ti schianta
Evapora in nuvole cupe rigonfie di nero
E cade, rimbalza e si muta in persona od in pianta
Diventa di terra, di vento, di sangue e pensiero
Ma a volte vorresti mangiarla, sentirtici dentro
Un sasso che l’apre affonda, sparisce e non sente
Vorresti scavarla, afferarla, lo senti che è il centro
Di questo ingranaggio continuo, confuso e vivente
Acque del mondo intorno, di pozzanghere e pianto
Di me che canto al limite del giorno
Tra il buio e la paura del tempo e del destino
Freddo assassino della notte scura
Ma l’acqua gira e passa e non sa dirmi niente
Di gente e me o di quest’aria bassa
Ottusa e indifferente cammina e corre via
Lascia una scia e non gliene frega niente
(translation)
The water that passes through the mud of certain canals
Between wise rats, tires and rust and glass
Who knows if it's the same bright as the sun or the headlights
That looks oily pass locked up in three meters
You can spend hours looking for if there is any ditch
That water drunk with thirst or that washes yourself
Or if there is a sign of her red thread in her running
That binds something to something, a thought to a reflection
But the water turns and passes, it can't tell me anything
Of gent and me or of this low air
Dull and indifferent she walks and runs away
Leave a trail and they don't give a damn
And it falls on me that I take it and I feel it filter
Light, it felts clothes, saddens the gardens
Bringing me the smell of ozone, playing dance
Projects worn out memories of old children
Relentlessly hitting the roof of long wagons
Arousing bored interest in a cat's eyes
Covering the crack of thunder with its own roar
Who hang in the sky for a moment distracted
And the water passes and turns and the color then fades
What is it that repels me and attracts me?
Water like sweat, fetid clear water
Bitter, without taste or color
But the water turns and passes and cannot tell me anything
Of people and me or of this low air
Dull and indifferent she walks and runs away
Leave a trail and they don't give a damn
And it murmurs, screams, whispers, talks to you, smashes you
It evaporates into dark clouds swollen with black
And it falls, bounces and changes in person or plant
It becomes of earth, wind, blood and thought
But sometimes you want to eat it, feel yourself in it
A stone that opens it sinks, disappears and does not hear
You would like to dig it, grab it, you feel it is the center
Of this continuous, confused and living cog
Waters of the world around, of puddles and tears
Of me singing on the edge of the day
Between the dark and the fear of time and destiny
Cold killer of the dark night
But the water turns and passes and cannot tell me anything
Of people and me or of this low air
Dull and indifferent she walks and runs away
Leave a trail and they don't give a damn
